less cost of service than any similar library in
the country. In three years only two books out

lost through failure to recover either the book
or its value from the borrower or his security,

INDIANAPOLIS MARKETS.
The Movement of Merchandise In Most Lines
Satisfactory in All Commercial Centers


Satisfactory in All Commercial Centers
INDIANAPOLIS, Jan. %.
Locally trade is excellent, and reports from
other commercial centers indicate volume of
business in excess of that of last year. Bust
ness with the dry goods men is active for Janu-
airy, with prices firm on last years basis, and in
some instances prices have improved More
activity is reported in the wool market than at
the close of the year. Travelling statesmen re-
port that the stocks of staple articles IN the
hands of retailers are light, indicating that trade
with them has been as large as had been gener-
ally expected. Collections are fairly satlsfac-
tory. In prices to-day there were no important
changes. The jobbers spring prices OF provisions
little, and apples are higher while on large ar
rivals butter weakens. Oranges and lemons
are weak at quotations; receipts are hoerai
and demand light. In groceries the tone OF
prices is strong. Owing to the heavy rain In the
after part of the day, trade took on a mere quiet
tone, but the outlook for business generally
could hardly be more favorable. The New York
Shipping List in commenting on the condlt1on
of trade, says IA radical change has taken
place within the past few months in the condi-
ton Of trade. as the result OF Increased con-
sumption and increased production, and ma
terial advance has been established In the vaiue
of many staple commodities and in many quar-
tiers there is disposition to observe the effect OF
these changes before proceeding further. The
price of coffee has almost doubled within year.
and consumption is beginning to show the effect
of higher prices; and in many other branches,
while values have not developed so radical a
change, have, nevertheless, placed the relations
of supply and demand upon a new basis, and,
awaiting further developments, the tendency is
to move with more caution"
GRAIN.
The tameness which brooded over the local
markets on Thursday continued over to-day.
Dealers bid with caution, and little interest was
shown in futures. The Board Of Trade Price
Current says:
'Wheat-Local market ruling steady and firm

both light. No shipping demand for any grade.
| Futures lifeless Markets elsewhere are shade
| easier.
'Corn-We note less activity on all grades.
| Demand for immediate shipments only moder-
ate. Prices ruled 403c lower than yesterday.
| Receipts considerably larger. Offerings fairly
| liberal. No sales reported. Markets at Chicago
| and seaboard points are about unchanged.
"Oats-Market is quit, but firm on all grades.

A Swing Instead Of q Gravestone.

Not long since Il little girl in this
city not over 10 years old was very i'll.
One day she insisted on seeing her father
at once He was telephoned at his count
ing-room, and on reaching the house
the little girl said: Papa, think I
am going to die, and want you to do
something for me instead of building q
monument over my grave. What would
a monument cost?" The father tried to
dssuade the child from speaking of
death, but she persisted until finally he
said . monument would cost any
amount of money that might be desired
to expend on it. "Well" said tho
child it would not cost less than 300,
would itp' The father said he thought
not. but begged the little one to change
the conversation. NO." said she.
II want you to promise that If die you
will give the $1OO to build another
swing in the park for the little children
instead Of building monument for
me-" This promise was given with
tears. The child had been in the ha bit
of walking in the park and had mott ced
the delight that many poor childre
have in swings, and. the thought
had come to her that might have sng-
gcsted itself to many Of our philanthro.

to say that the little girl recovered
from her illness and that is the reason,
perhaps. why her-father's promise has
not been kept.-Albany Household.
